[ hey he just doesn't want you to trip back into the snake chair and get eaten or something. let him be your meat shield. ]

Lemme see.

nothing. ]

Dammit--! [ now he's trying the next best course of action: repeatedly slamming into the door with his shoulder. ] C'mon! Why won't it-- open--!

Hey! [She cries out in protest when he start ramming his shoulder, suddenly envisioning him going right through the wall and dropping down however many feet they're up in the air.]

Wait, stop! What if you fall through!? [She grapple for his arm or shoulder, something, to try and stop him from killing either of them.] We're really high up, remember!?

It's better than keeping you in here with whatever that is.

[ yeah, he's obviously not concerned with himself-- he simply does not want to subject this poor girl to being stuck in here with the giant snake-chair.

which means if he's going to get them both to bail prematurely from a gazillion feet up? then so be it. ]
